The process of introspection, in which you stop moving, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing to still your brain activity, is a sacred time in which you connect with your true self, your soul.
There is a sense of security there that cannot be obtained by simply satisfying desires with external things.
As the pioneer of Buddhism once said, "Seek not God, but find truth, peace, and light within yourself through your own efforts," it is important to focus our awareness on the divinity within ourselves and strengthen our faith, rather than clinging to or relying on something or someone outside of ourselves.
To do this, we need to make time for ourselves, even if just for a little while in our busy daily lives, and make an effort to maintain enough serenity to sense the light within.
Introspection is more subdued and quiet than what is external. Without calm, you cannot achieve peace of mind.
That's why many people lack interest and don't persist, so they continue to busy themselves with worldly pastimes, accumulate worldly desires, and repeat the cycle of pain and joy.
Turning your awareness inward and exploring will make you your true self.
It is the only thing that transcends the ego and can sense the presence that created and sustains you in the present, and that divinity is who you truly are.
When you strengthen this sublime sense, you no longer need to seek external protection.
You will learn to trust that the truth is always within you.
You will realize that your life's guidance comes from within, not from anyone else.
Things on the outside are constantly changing.
But the truth inside you is universal.
The power of introspection's energy is difficult to quantify or prove, but if you keep at it, you'll begin to feel a definite shift in your own energy.
A shift in energy means a shift in your vibrational field.
And then, your reality will change for the better, and you'll naturally transform into the place you were meant to be and the person you were meant to be. 🍀
